Multi-select and Category Overwrite

Anonymous

I have several category boxes set up under one form. I would like the form to allow multiple categories per box to be selected, so I used the Multi-select box for most of the sections.

1) Each section only allows one item to be selected even though the Multi-select box is shown.
2) Every section overwrites the previous section allowing only one category to be chosen per search.

Is there anyway to get this plugin to work where someone could select more than one category in each Multi-select box to allow the search to narrow down posts more effectively?

The problem is that, in general, you can use a particular Taxonomy (or Category/Tags, each Taxonomy and each Custom Field) only once in the form. You would need to make additional custom taxonomies. This post tries to explain this a bit better (you can use a plugin to switch category terms from category to any new taxonomy that you make, so it is not so hard to do). It is a really awful preachy lecture I wrote:

Sorry about the tone, but the message is right and it links to good plugins (except taxonomy switcher I think).

Thank you very much. I guess it’s finally time to figure out how to do Custom Post Types and Taxonomies.
